Issues with regards to the mastery of students in academic writing are at an alarming rate as the quality of education continues to be enhanced. A low quality of academic writing texts, self-weakness and negative attitudes of students as well as the lack of skilled teachers as guidance to effective writing skills also contribute to this problem. The objective of this study is to identify the strategies that students are able to use for academic writing skills purposes. It has a sample of 266 respondents which involved students from various academic backgrounds. The findings of this study were obtained by using a survey method and questionnaire as the research instruments through simple random sampling. The results showed that 174 students were interested in academic writing skills. The study also showed that 266 students managed to identify the correct writing strategies to use. This is to ensure that an academic writing text has achieved a good structure of writing skill besides being able to fulfill the task requirement of an academic text. This study has proven that to ensure a well written academic text is produced; students must practice consistency in planning, managing, and implementing appropriate writing strategies. Therefore, students in higher learning institutions must be introduced to a structured learning strategy so that learning activities and tasks can be implemented according to the needs and requirements of a program. The implementation of appropriate learning strategies is important to make sure that students are able to achieve good grades in the completion of any written assignments for each course taken in the program.
